Paralyzed since I was 18 years old, I have spent much of the last 30 years thinking about the reasons why the social life of crippled people is so different from those who ambulate on two feet. After reading about the so called Ashley Treatment I decided it was time to write a book about my life as a crippled man. My book, Bad Cripple: A Protest from an Invisible Man, will be published by Counter Punch. I hope my book will completed soon.

Barry Baker Update

In the last two weeks virtually no news has emerged about the death of Barry Baker. Readers will recall Baker died when two ambulance workers called to his house decided his life was not worth saving. According to news reports, the ambulance workers were appalled by the condition of Mr. Baker's house. BBC news is reporting that the two men who were arrested on suspicion of neglecting to perform a duty in public office have had their bail extended to next February. I am not sure if this extension is significant or simply common place.
